Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, our performers, audiences and surrounding communities will continue to see the Middle River Community Theatre's performing arts presence in our community and basic upkeep of our building and grounds. Evaluation will occur through follow-up meetings with the production planners and participants on how their experience was while working with the Middle River Community Theatre. There will be a head count of all members of the audiences including youth, adult, and senior citizens.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Letters from the directors with personal reflection stating their experience from rehearsals to production. The board can take this information to make changes to future productions for a better experience for all parties involved. Our theater made changes to the information printed on each ticket to better identify the ticket holder. This information is used to identify our patrons and to help us choose future productions, target advertising markets, and collect data for comparison.
